I dunno whether you are trolling or being serious. SPF regulations will apply because he is driving in Singapore on Singapore roads. By your troll logic, that person doesn't need to adhere to any of TP's traffic laws and can freely run red lights, drive in bus lanes and speed to his heart's content

The reported figure is a three-hour average, however within those averages there was a spike to 400-500 (can't rmb exact)

Roughly speaking, 1.0myr to 0.9sgd (e.g. MY 5k and SG 4.5k) would be considered an 'equivalent' salary. Of course there are other factors in which you may consider coming over on a "lower" salary.


should cancel imo then you got excuse to ffk your parents for one weekend and join the gang for dinner or drinks

"The Employment Pass Eligibility Certificate (EPEC) scheme has been discontinued since 1 December 2011. The Ministry of Manpower (MOM) no longer accept any applications or appeals for this scheme."

So no, you won't be able to apply for the LTVP based on EPEC scheme. After your last day with current employer they will cancel your work pass and I believe you are issued a 30-days valid white card (the same as any tourist) so you need to leave singapore within that 30 days.

And yes, you need to also give notice to your landlord that you are leaving. Your contract should have a 'diplomatic clause' written in that says something like you can break contract if you are forced to exit SG due to no more valid work pass.

Generally those who intend to stay long(er) term I suppose. PR also has some drawbacks if you're West Malaysian.

it's just a whatsapp chat group where a huge bunch of us chat and talk nonsense and arrange meet ups for lunch, dinner, etc. PM MacKiddo as he is our supreme leader taiko. Admission for single guys = waiting list, but if you do a joint application with your gf and/or her SIA colleagues surely can cut queue

No, IMO it is too much of a downgrade. With 4.8k rm you can own your own condo plus car. With 3k sgd you can only rent a room. I don't subscribe to the rationale of coming over, spending like a pauper, converting the left over to RM and proclaiming woo hoo look how much more money I'm saving now that I'm in SG.

He means if you are earning rm4.8k, you should be able to get a job that pays sgd4k and above. Not asking a company to pay you sgd4k for a job that only pays 3k.

Why you all don't want to sign contract/plan? Get nice subsidy on the phone ...

It's quite clear actually. You need to present your original SPM cert latest by 1 year after the WP is issued. If you don't, then your WP gets cancelled and you might be blacklisted.

$2.20 for condo is damn cheap eh. Even HDB is hard to find good one for that price. The place I'm renting now also more expensive.

Don't have the breakdown but I paid $200 in total for PR formalities

Just curious, what is your qualifications (dip? degree?) and what job role are you working as? To be honest $1.1k is a very low starting pay ... one of our member tayhaithian got offer as $7k as fresh grad a year ago and now already $8k++++.

Not allowed.

Er, so ... does banking pay more than engineering or the other way around? When you start work you $3k and he $1k? And now you $10k and he $7k?

for me also wasn't instant, i needed to wait 1-2 days before can make appointment.

i no heartache for tax cos my tax amount is so low that it hardly makes any difference on my pitiful pay check

My DBS account can withdraw immediately but by month end must top up back to minimum amount otherwise ganna $2 charge.


huh what are you talking about. you work of course you need to pay tax mah. unless your salary is so low that the government decides you don't need to pay like 90% of all malaysians.

How do you guys save your rainy day funds? StanChart bonu$saver seems the best so far at 1.88% as long as u swipe $500/mth on credit card. Anything better?

Seems that they reduced the interest rate to 0.8% for new accounts now. Still multiple times better than the 0.05% that I'm currently getting at DBS though


credit card points are crappy anyway, lol. plus now manhattan card reduce their cashback from 5% to 3% (but you still need big 3k+ spending in that month to qualify). e$saver 1.2% ... how?
